Pull io_uring IO interface from Jens Axboe:
"Second attempt at adding the io_uring interface.
Since the first one, we've added basic unit testing of the three
system calls, that resides in liburing like the other unit tests that
we have so far. It'll take a while to get full coverage of it, but
we're working towards it. I've also added two basic test programs to
tools/io_uring. One uses the raw interface and has support for all the
various features that io_uring supports outside of standard IO, like
fixed files, fixed IO buffers, and polled IO. The other uses the
liburing API, and is a simplified version of cp(1).
This adds support for a new IO interface, io_uring.
io_uring allows an application to communicate with the kernel through
two rings, the submission queue (SQ) and completion queue (CQ) ring.
This allows for very efficient handling of IOs, see the v5 posting for
some basic numbers:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-block/20190116175003.17880-1-axboe@kernel.dk/
Outside of just efficiency, the interface is also flexible and
extendable, and allows for future use cases like the upcoming NVMe
key-value store API, networked IO, and so on. It also supports async
buffered IO, something that we've always failed to support in the
kernel.
Outside of basic IO features, it supports async polled IO as well.
This particular feature has already been tested at Facebook months ago
for flash storage boxes, with 25-33% improvements. It makes polled IO
actually useful for real world use cases, where even basic flash sees
a nice win in terms of efficiency, latency, and performance. These
boxes were IOPS bound before, now they are not.
This series adds three new system calls. One for setting up an
io_uring instance (io_uring_setup(2)), one for submitting/completing
IO (io_uring_enter(2)), and one for aux functions like registrating
file sets, buffers, etc (io_uring_register(2)). Through the help of
Arnd, I've coordinated the syscall numbers so merge on that front
should be painless.
Jon did a writeup of the interface a while back, which (except for
minor details that have been tweaked) is still accurate. Find that
here:
https://lwn.net/Articles/776703/
Huge thanks to Al Viro for helping getting the reference cycle code
correct, and to Jann Horn for his extensive reviews focused on both
security and bugs in general.
There's a userspace library that provides basic functionality for
applications that don't need or want to care about how to fiddle with
the rings directly. It has helpers to allow applications to easily set
up an io_uring instance, and submit/complete IO through it without
knowing about the intricacies of the rings. It also includes man pages
(thanks to Jeff Moyer), and will continue to grow support helper
functions and features as time progresses. Find it here:
git://git.kernel.dk/liburing
Fio has full support for the raw interface, both in the form of an IO
engine (io_uring), but also with a small test application (t/io_uring)
that can exercise and benchmark the interface"

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/powerpc/linux
Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
"Notable changes:
- Enable THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK to move thread_info off the stack.
- A big series from Christoph reworking our DMA code to use more of
the generic infrastructure, as he said:
"This series switches the powerpc port to use the generic swiotlb
and noncoherent dma ops, and to use more generic code for the
coherent direct mapping, as well as removing a lot of dead
code."
- Increase our vmalloc space to 512T with the Hash MMU on modern
CPUs, allowing us to support machines with larger amounts of total
RAM or distance between nodes.
- Two series from Christophe, one to optimise TLB miss handlers on
6xx, and another to optimise the way STRICT_KERNEL_RWX is
implemented on some 32-bit CPUs.
- Support for KCOV coverage instrumentation which means we can run
syzkaller and discover even more bugs in our code.
And as always many clean-ups, reworks and minor fixes etc.

We can't call perf_data__close and subsequently perf_session__delete,
because it will call perf_data__close again and cause double free for
data->file.path.
$ perf report -i .
incompatible file format (rerun with -v to learn more)
free(): double free detected in tcache 2
Aborted (core dumped)
In fact we don't need to call perf_data__close at all, because at the
time the got out_close is reached, session->data is already initialized,
so the perf_data__close call will be triggered from

Currently we probe for precise_ip with user specified perf_event_attr,
which might fail because of unsupported kernel features, which would get
disabled during the open time anyway.
Switching the probe to take place on simple hw cycles, so the following
record sets proper precise_ip:
# perf record -e cycles:P ls
# perf evlist -v
cycles:P: size: 112, ... precise_ip: 3, ...

To improve 'perf diff', implement a --cpu filter option.
Multiple CPUs can be provided as a comma-separated list with no space:
0,1. Ranges of CPUs are specified with -: 0-2. Default is to report
samples on all CPUs.
For example,
perf diff --cpu 0,1
It only diff the samples for CPU0 and CPU1.

To improve 'perf diff', implement a --time filter option to diff the
samples within given time window.
It supports time percent with multiple time ranges. The time string
format is 'a%/n,b%/m,...' or 'a%-b%,c%-%d,...'.
For example:
Select the second 10% time slice to diff:
perf diff --time 10%/2
Select from 0% to 10% time slice to diff:
perf diff --time 0%-10%
Select the first and the second 10% time slices to diff:
perf diff --time 10%/1,10%/2
Select from 0% to 10% and 30% to 40% slices to diff:
perf diff --time 0%-10%,30%-40%
It also supports analysing samples within a given time window
<start>,<stop>.
Times have the format seconds.microseconds.
If 'start' is not given (i.e., time string is ',x.y') then analysis starts at
the beginning of the file.
If the stop time is not given (i.e, time string is 'x.y,') then analysis
goes to end of file.
Time string is 'a1.b1,c1.d1:a2.b2,c2.d2'. Use ':' to separate timestamps for
different perf.data files.
For example, we get the timestamp information from perf script.
perf script -i perf.data.old
mgen 13940 [000] 3946.361400: ...
perf script -i perf.data
mgen 13940 [000] 3971.150589 ...
perf diff --time 3946.361400,:3971.150589,
It analyzes the perf.data.old from the timestamp 3946.361400 to the end of
perf.data.old and analyzes the perf.data from the timestamp 3971.150589 to the
end of perf.data.

intel-bts code
Add a utility function to fetch executable code. Convert one
user over to it. There are more places doing that, but they
do significantly different actions, so they are not
easy to fit into a single library function.
Committer changes:
. No need to cast around, make 'buf' be a void pointer.
. Rename it to thread__memcpy() to reflect the fact it is about copying
a chunk of memory from a thread, i.e. from its address space.
. No need to have it in a separate object file, move it to thread.[ch]
. Check the return of map__load(), the original code didn't do it, but
since we're moving this around, check that as well.

Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The biggest part of this tree is the new auto-generated atomics API
wrappers by Mark Rutland.
The primary motivation was to allow instrumentation without uglifying
the primary source code.
The linecount increase comes from adding the auto-generated files to
the Git space as well:
include/asm-generic/atomic-instrumented.h | 1689 ++++++++++++++++--
include/asm-generic/atomic-long.h | 1174 ++++++++++---
include/linux/atomic-fallback.h | 2295 +++++++++++++++++++++++++
include/linux/atomic.h | 1241 +------------
I preferred this approach, so that the full call stack of the (already
complex) locking APIs is still fully visible in 'git grep'.
But if this is excessive we could certainly hide them.
There's a separate build-time mechanism to determine whether the
headers are out of date (they should never be stale if we do our job
right).
Anyway, nothing from this should be visible to regular kernel
developers.
Other changes:
- Add support for dynamic keys, which removes a source of false
positives in the workqueue code, among other things (Bart Van
Assche)
- Updates to tools/memory-model (Andrea Parri, Paul E. McKenney)
- qspinlock, wake_q and lockdep micro-optimizations (Waiman Long)
- misc other updates and enhancements"

The libbpf loader expects that some __btf_map_<MAP_NAME> structs be in
place with the keys and values types of maps so that one can store the
struct definitions and have them sent to the kernel via sys_bpf(fd, cmd
= BTF_LOAD) and then later be retrievable via sys_bpf(fd, cmd =
BPF_OBJ_GET_INFO_BY_FD) for use by tools such as 'bpftool map dump id
MAP_ID'.
Since we already have this for defining maps in 'perf trace' BPF events:
bpf_map(name, _type, type_key, type_val, _max_entries)
As used in the tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.c:
--- 8< ---
struct syscall {
bool enabled;
};
bpf_map(syscalls, ARRAY, int, struct syscall, 512);
--- 8< ---
All we need is to get all that already available info, piggyback on the
'bpf_map' define in tools/perf/include/bpf/bpf.h, that is included by
'perf trace' BPF programs and do that without requiring changes to the
BPF programs already defining maps using 'bpf_map()'.
So this is what we have before this patch:
1) With this in ~/.perfconfig to dump .c events as .o, aka save a copy
so that we can use the .o later as a pre-compiled BPF bytecode:
# grep '\[llvm\]' -A2 ~/.perfconfig
[llvm]
dump-obj = true
clang-opt = -g
#
# clang --version
clang version 9.0.0 (https://git.llvm.org/git/clang.git/ 7906282d3afec5dfdc2b27943fd6c0309086c507) (https://git.llvm.org/git/llvm.git/ a1b5de1ff8ae8bc79dc8e86e1f82565229bd0500)
Target: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
Thread model: posix
InstalledDir: /opt/llvm/bin
2) Note the -g there so that we get clang to generate debuginfo, and
since the target is 'bpf' it will generate the BTF info in this
clang version (9.0).
3) Run a simple 'perf record' specifiying as an event the augmented_raw_syscalls.c
source code:

# file /home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.o
/home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.o: ELF 64-bit LSB relocatable, eBPF, version 1 (SYSV), with debug_info, not stripped
4) Look at the BTF structs encoded in it:
# pahole -F btf --sizes /home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.o
syscall_enter_args 64 0
augmented_filename 264 0
syscall 1 0
syscall_exit_args 24 0
bpf_map 28 0
#
# pahole -F btf -C syscalls /home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.o
# pahole -F btf -C syscall /home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.o
struct syscall {
bool enabled; /* 0 1 */
/* size: 1, cachelines: 1, members: 1 */
/* last cacheline: 1 bytes */
};
#
5) Ok, with just this we don't have the markers expected by the libbpf
loader and when we run with this BPF bytecode, because we have:
# grep '\[trace\]' -A1 ~/.perfconfig
[trace]
add_events = /home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.o
#
6) Lets do a 'perf trace' system wide session using this BPF program:
# perf trace -e *mmsg,open*
Cache2 I/O/6885 openat(AT_FDCWD, "/home/acme/.cache/mozilla/firefox/ina67tev.default/cache2/entries/BA220AB2914006A7AE96D27BE6EA13DD77519FCA", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC, S_IRUSR|S_IWUSR) = 106
Cache2 I/O/6885 openat(AT_FDCWD, "/proc/self/mountinfo", O_RDONLY) = 121
Cache2 I/O/6885 openat(AT_FDCWD, "/proc/self/mountinfo", O_RDONLY) = 121
Cache2 I/O/6885 openat(AT_FDCWD, "/proc/self/mountinfo", O_RDONLY) = 121
Cache2 I/O/6885 openat(AT_FDCWD, "/proc/self/mountinfo", O_RDONLY) = 121
DNS Res~ver #3/23340 openat(AT_FDCWD, "/etc/hosts", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 106
DNS Res~ver #3/23340 sendmmsg(106<socket:[3482690]>, 0x7f252f1fcaf0, 2, MSG_NOSIGNAL) = 2
Cache2 I/O/6885 openat(AT_FDCWD, "/home/acme/.cache/mozilla/firefox/ina67tev.default/cache2/entries/BA220AB2914006A7AE96D27BE6EA13DD77519FCA", O_RDWR) = 106
lighttpd/18915 openat(AT_FDCWD, "/proc/loadavg", O_RDONLY) = 12
7) While it runs lets see the maps that 'perf trace' + libbpf's BPF
loader loaded into the kernel via sys_bpf(fd, BPF_BTF_LOAD, ...):
# bpftool map list | tail -6
149: perf_event_array name __augmented_sys flags 0x0
key 4B value 4B max_entries 8 memlock 4096B
150: array name syscalls flags 0x0
key 4B value 1B max_entries 512 memlock 8192B
151: hash name pids_filtered flags 0x0
key 4B value 1B max_entries 64 memlock 8192B
#
8) Dump the "pids_filtered", map, that will have one entry per PID that
'perf trace' wants filtered, which includes its own, to avoid a
tracing feedback loop (perf trace shows the syscalls it does which
generates more syscalls that it has to show that...), it also
auto-filters the 'gnome-terminal' and 'sshd' parent PIDs, for the
same reason:
# bpftool map dump id 151
key: a5 0c 00 00 value: 01
key: 14 63 00 00 value: 01
Found 2 elements
#
9) Since there is no BTF info available, it does a generic hex dump :-\
10) Now, with this patch applied, we'll do steps 3 to 6 again and look
with pahole if there are extra structs encoded in BTF:
# pahole -F btf --sizes /home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.o
syscall_enter_args 64 0
augmented_filename 264 0
syscall 1 0
syscall_exit_args 24 0
bpf_map 28 0
____btf_map___augmented_syscalls__ 8 0
____btf_map_syscalls 8 0
____btf_map_pids_filtered 8 0
#
11) Yes, those __btf_map_ + the map names, lets see how they look like:
# pahole -F btf -C ____btf_map_syscalls /home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.o
struct ____btf_map_syscalls {
int key; /* 0 4 */
struct syscall value; /* 4 1 */
/* size: 8, cachelines: 1, members: 2 */
/* padding: 3 */
/* last cacheline: 8 bytes */
};
#
12) Lets repeat step 7 to get the new map ids:
# bpftool map list | tail -6
155: perf_event_array name __augmented_sys flags 0x0
key 4B value 4B max_entries 8 memlock 4096B
156: array name syscalls flags 0x0
key 4B value 1B max_entries 512 memlock 8192B
157: hash name pids_filtered flags 0x0
key 4B value 1B max_entries 64 memlock 8192B
#
13) And finally lets dump the 'pids_filtered':
# bpftool map dump id 157
[{
"key": 3237,
"value": true
},{
"key": 26435,
"value": true
}
]
#
Looks much better! BTF info was used to interpret the key as an integer
and the value as a struct with just one boolean member, so to make it
more compact, show just the 'true' value where we saw '01'.
Now to make 'perf trace --dump-map' to use BTF!

Add the test script for the kernel test driver to analyse vmalloc
allocator for benchmarking and stressing purposes. It is just a kernel
module loader. You can specify and pass different parameters in order
to investigate allocations behaviour. See "usage" output for more
details.
Also add basic vmalloc smoke test to the "run_vmtests" suite.

PG_balloon was introduced to implement page migration/compaction for
pages inflated in virtio-balloon. Nowadays, it is only a marker that a
page is part of virtio-balloon and therefore logically offline.
We also want to make use of this flag in other balloon drivers - for
inflated pages or when onlining a section but keeping some pages offline
(e.g. used right now by XEN and Hyper-V via set_online_page_callback()).
We are going to expose this flag to dump tools like makedumpfile. But
instead of exposing PG_balloon, let's generalize the concept of marking
pages as logically offline, so it can be reused for other purposes later
on.
Rename PG_balloon to PG_offline. This is an indicator that the page is
logically offline, the content stale and that it should not be touched
(e.g. a hypervisor would have to allocate backing storage in order for
the guest to dump an unused page). We can then e.g. exclude such pages
from dumps.
We replace and reuse KPF_BALLOON (23), as this shouldn't really harm
(and for now the semantics stay the same). In following patches, we
will make use of this bit also in other balloon drivers. While at it,
document PGTABLE.
